Did BYD Beat Earnings? Q3 2025 Results
Boyd Gaming delivered a strong third-quarter 2025 beat on both the top and bottom lines, with adjusted earnings per share of $1.72 clearing the $1.63 consensus by 5.83% and total revenues of $1.00 billion running 14.77% ahead of the $875.11 million estimate, up 4.5% from a year ago. The headline story, however, was a $1.40 billion after-tax gain from the company's sale of its equity interest in FanDuel, which vaulted GAAP net income to $1.44 billion, or $17.81 per diluted share, compared to $131.13 million, or $1.43 per share, in the year-ago period. Beneath that one-time item, the underlying business held steady, with adjusted earnings of $139.14 million essentially matching last year's $139.28 million while per-share figures improved meaningfully thanks to aggressive buyback activity, including $160.00 million in repurchases during the quarter alone. The Midwest and South segment was a particular bright spot, posting its best third-quarter revenue and Adjusted EBITDAR performance in three years on broad-based customer growth. Management signaled continued confidence in long-term shareholder value creation, with roughly $547.00 million remaining under the current buyback authorization.
